Description: Kairos is a time to understand that our roots begin in Christ. If those roots are strong we will experience and share His love. Kairos is a time for all retreatants to be transformed by Christ’s love.
Kairos means “the Lord’s time,” as opposed to Chronos, “our time.” The Kairos Retreat began at Xavier High School over a decade ago and has become an amazing part of the junior/senior year experience for retreatants. Kairos is an opportunity for juniors and seniors to pause before they become an adult. For seniors are facing the next year where many are headed to a different place, a different city and meeting new people. Kairos is an opportunity to leave their high school career on a positive note where they can really assess their relationship with God. For junior attendees, the retreat has become a staple of spiritual formation as well. The goal is to leave the stresses, all the responsibilities of school, life, sports, friends, and just learn about themselves and their relationship with God.
Part of the Kairos allure is not telling the retreatants the daily schedule, or even revealing much about the Kairos experience itself, other than that it is one of prayer, reflection, camaraderie and learning more about one’s classmates outside the confines of a schedule normally packed with homework, exams, sports, clubs and all the stresses of being high school student.
